I3C Cafe - Now Brewing: A New Digital Protocol

The new Entry Line RA-series MCUs support I3C SDR communications in Controller or Target roles. Still no HDR-DDR mode, but offers a great step up from the limitations of the RA2E2.

After years of having I3C Target support in their sensor lines, ST has finally added an I3C controller to their catalog with the introduction of STM32H5 series MCUs.

Marking their first formal participation at the Embedded World conference, The MIPI Alliance is offering an I3C session as part of the Board Level Hardware Engineering track.

Many folks are about to have easy access to an I3C-capable MCU thanks to Espressif's next-gen ESP32 SoC

The MIPI Debug Working Group is planning to host a Debug for I3C Interop Workshop at the Member Meeting in June 2023. Fill out the interest form if you'd like to participate - it's definitely worthwhile!

We're sharing our findings after spending some time building a new automated I3C test bench using the SC4420 by Signal Craft Technology.

The portfolio contains 4 different device series, one of them being described as containing a "broad range of peripherals". We stopped at NXP's booth at Embedded World to learn more.

Ladyada and PT produced an amazingly concise explanation of the key concepts of I3C in just ~12 minutes.

TI has a hidden gem buried in their catalog of devices: an I3C Switch and Voltage-Level translator.

Proactive standardization of a USB-to-I3C Bridge paves the way for a cohesive I3C ecosystem without the quirks of manufacturer-specific implementations.

NXP acknowledges upcoming I3C-capable line of temperature sensors and make their I3C products easier to find. Kudos to their marketing team!

Employment of I3C Basic for the link layer of ETSI SSP paves the way for exciting new embedded system security features.
